Under current proposals, Clovenstone, Ferrylee, Ford's Road and Jewel House Care Homes have been judged to be unsuitable and would be closed. A further care home, Drumbrae would close as a care home and switch to hospital-based complex clinical care.

Scotland’s care system already relies too heavily on homes that are run for profit. Edinburgh can buck that trend by supporting Council-run care homes that focus on providing quality care not the making of money. We urge you to back UNISON's campaign to Save Our Care Homes and send a letter to your MSP asking that they use their influence and intervene.
